On 09 May 2002, in a message titled "Python and PIL and rebase, oh my!",
I said:

#2) ------------------------------
Given that, I have a 3 requests for the tcl/tk maintainer:
1) for the next release, can we have the header files (other than
just tk.h) installed as well? (Where? I dunno... /usr/include/tk/ &
/tcl/?)
2) can we have a postinstall script that links
/usr/lib/libtclX.Y.a ---> libtclXY.a
/usr/lib/libtkX.Y.a ---> libtkXY.a
3) please make sure the tkConfig.sh and tclConfig.sh files are
correct. The current versions include lots of references to
/cygnus/netrel/src/gdb-20001125-1/ etc. That's bad...

All of these issues still exist (but now that tcltk is its own package,
they are fixable -- when it was all mingled together with gdb it was
totally unfixable).
